Lakers have the 2024, not the 2025 pick.

Bro this is literally a perfect fit for LA he stretches the floor can rebound has size to defend such a bigger upgrade over rui, rui can’t defend and clogs the paint
I was with you up until you said rui clogs the paint 😂. If any clogs the paint its Ad,Jaxon hayes and vando
@@kidracks2991 bro, Va do ain’t even play in the playoffs and the other two are actual lob threats and do damage down low
Utah ain’t giving us their best player
@@keyjugg if they want to tank properly they will
@@alandiaz5706 I can assure you that the lakers won’t have the best offer for Lauri , thunder have a better chance
Lauri markkanen is really a good fit for the Lakers
There is no way Danny Angie will trade markkanen bro
Trade three first round picks,D’Angelo Russell,Jared Vanderbilt and Gabe Vincent and it might happen
@@howru2055which would be stupid
@@howru2055 I hope you are not a GM in real life 😂. Cause thats the worst mock trade I’ve seen
last year of his deal, Jazz stuck in NBA purgatory (not in playoffs, not in lottery) ... knowing Ainge, he'll be moved
AR/Rui/JHS 3 1sts (remove protections on CURRENT Jazz pick via LA) for LAuri/Sexton
at 27age he has plenty of time to improve his defense, Much like Pau Gasol when he joined the Lakers. Like Luka in this years Playoff series he played defense when needed. These guys are pros
they know exactly what to do! this trade will solve their rebounding issues and 3 point shooting. and I've seen him played defense at the last minutes of the game. You can include Chris Dunn for a solid PA defender and a hustler. for Rui, Woods, JHS & Gabe 2 x 1st round
FUCK GETTING A THIRD STAR THIS IS THE TRADE THEY NEED TO DO!! FILL THAT BAG UP RN
Need to insert Max Christie in the lineups bro...
He’s a restricted free agent and therefore not currently under contract.
Agreed, hes literally their 3&D Wing on a decent contract, assuming they re-sign him.
Perfect fit great fit but Lakers organization is trash 🗑️ and I won’t believe nothing until day 1 . Everything I see now are lies until proven different
@@JSM24probably have to get Caruso, that would give a lineup of;
PG: Lebron(offensively) PF on defense
SG: Caruso
SF: Vando
PF: Marrken
C: AD
This would work of u watch the denver games or starting line only two guys play defense...Gordon and KCP
Lauri markkanen can play the 3,4,5
Exactly ... same w AD
@@schmitkeoriginalsthank you
@@jackshannon4695then he could play the 3
Only two players in this trade window worth blowing the squad up for are Lauri and Mikel Bridges. Everything else is basically a risk from a trade point of view.
FINally!!! LAuri will be a Laker... 💜💛😈💛💜
AR/Rui/JHS 3 firsts for LAuri/Sexton
@@schmitkeoriginalsreplace Rui or Ar with D-Lo
@@BrotherAcee we all wish...
We need as close to a traditional big as possible but that has the mobility to keep up with the modern pace. They must perform big man role in both offense (rebounding & pick n' roll), defense (rebounding & rim protection) and height. This guy not being able to muscle up puts the burden back on to AD again. Which increases the chance that AD gets hurt during the season...
Bringing back The Carushow, The Bald Eagle, The Bald Mamba - Alex Caruso in a trade with Chicago should be our first move. Securing a D'Lo replacement that LBJ & AD trust in the PG position will save us a huge amount of chemistry building time.
We can choose between developing Hayes & Castleton to fulfill the needs during the season or trading for a traditional C later on.
We also need to consider Vincent, Vanderbilt and Reddish are (hopefully) getting back into form.
We have all the pieces we need, just need consistency and stability.
Bro if there can swing a trade for Lauri swap with Rui and some picks, then can add a traditional center to back up AD it's a win...I like ur breakdown
@@katashamunthali Thanks and you make a good point. He would be a better fit in comparison to Rui. The picks would also be great.
He gets injured a lot so that could possibly help in not having to give up everything but would love to have another big to count on
JSM, can you make a vid on the top 3 free agents for the Lakers, I think Paul George would be perfect but I havent looked into his contract expectations or other specifics! But i wanna see your thoughts on PG to the Lakers!
Absolutely a great fit if the Lakers wants to get him. Big man that can shoot. Although he is not the traditional big, the Lakers can really draft one, or even sign one like Boggie/Howard as a backup. I think it's not a bad choice too.
Such a good fit 🫡👍🏾
My crazy never- will happen- offseason
1. Trade Austin to one of the cap teams for a first rounder nothing back
2. Dlo walks
3. Gabe, Rui, Vando 4 first rounders for Mitchell
4. Current players would be Lebron ,AD Mitchell , Max, JHS, Wood Hayes, Reddish and a second rounder.
5. Lebron agrees to a 2 year 60 million: 27 first year
6: total salary of those ( not including Max) is 118ish million
7 cap is at 136 million
8.Brooklyn does the pick swap deal with Houston getting all theirs back for Suns, trades Mikal and decides not to resign Claxton as to not interfere with tank for a loaded 25’ draft.
9. Sign Claxton with remaining cap
10. Pay Max you can excede the salary cap
11. Starting lineup with Mitchell Max Bron AD Claxton
12. Bench JHS Taurean mid level Wood Reddish. Chris Paul is a must,
25’ NBA championship belongs to the LA lakers!
The problem is that Utah is not going to do anything to help the Lakers!
Basically Utah is the Boston of the Western Conference as far as the dislike is concerned.
They will still get bullied by Jokic if this is their front court. We need a bigger center than AD.
We would have won if Rui dlo played up to par so that’s clearly not the biggest concern if u watched the series closely cause AD was holding his own mostly and we had a horrible coaching plan
@@lakershow772 In last year’s conference finals, AD had a terrible series, because he had to exert tons of energy trying to defend Jokic. Towards the end of that series, they figured they would have Rui be the one to exert his energy on Jokic. So this year, every time we played Denver, Rui had to burn his energy out defending Jokic. When you have to defend someone that’s a mismatch, you will tire out fast, and it will impact your shot on offense. Lakers know this, which is why they had AD guard Jokic far less this time, which is why AD had a great offensive series compared to last year vs Denver. So Rui took one for the team. If AD had the tough assignment the majority of the game, the conversation would be why AD didn’t show up and how Rui produced well. People just think about basketball on one side of the floor, but both sides impact each other, because both use your singular pool of energy.
D’lo didn’t have an excuse to shoot poorly. Last year he did, because he was tasked with fighting over screens without help. This time they had Austin Reeves doing that, but Reeves did better than D’lo did in terms of not letting his high effort on defense give him weak legs leading to a poor jump shot. Outside of D’lo shooting poorly in 3/5 games, he still had the highest plus/minus on the team in almost every game. This means that despite his bad shooting, he must have been doing other things really well to contribute to winning.
I really do not like this idea that every time we lose in the playoffs, we have to blame the role players. The role players aren’t carrying us, the stars are. Yes everyone has to do their part, but stars have more responsibility, and they have to shoulder the burden. That’s the one thing I don’t like about the media around LBJ led teams. It’s never his fault, but the role players. Like are we going to talk about how every game Aaron Gordon got behind LBJ for an easy dunk, due to LBJ ball watching? What about that wide open 3 he misused in the final minutes? What about the FT, even though he’s gotten better with that.
We wouldn’t have won unless we had a legit center who could defend Jokic to some degree. It’s because we didn’t have the personnel to defend Jokic that we had to double team, and when we didn’t double, we had Rui or Ad getting mauled by the Joker 1v1. This whole situation limited what Darvin Ham could do, because he was forced to double most of the game. So it’s ez to blame this person or that person, but most of the issues the Lakers have against Denver all stem from a size disadvantage due to personal, not simply role players. role players.
Not really, lakers lost cause no one outside of Bron and ad showed up, if rui or dlo did anything lakers could've beat Denver, they led almost every game
Jokic is done his media hype is over
Y'all still don't see it after all this time? Nuggets beat us playing at near half their potential. That's why they started off the T-wolves series so badly, because they had to wake up to play a real opponent, and we didn't prepare them for that. Y'all think, "if only we can do this better, and if only this player does this better," because y'all only think about the offensive side of the ball. People who understand how the defensive side of the ball impacts the offensive side of the ball will understand why certain players have shooting slumps in a particular series. LBJ and AD are given the easiest assignments on defense so that they have energy on offense so that their shooting mechanics and touch don't get affected. So when they asked Rui to be on Jokic the majority of the time, they knew it was going to hurt his scoring, but you'd rather have AD cooking and Rui struggling, than Rui cooking and AD struggling. Look at last year's conference finals...AD played like shit on offense, because he got worn out guarding Jokic. The Lakers decided that their role players were going to do the heavy lifting on defense so that the 2 stars could do more on offense. So don't go blaming the role players for not doing more on offense. This is why 2 way players are so important. Yeah the Lakers need more 2-way role players, but it doesn't help when our superstars are avoiding having to play hard both ways as well. AD is a defensive powerhouse, but because of his mismatch with Jokic, he becomes a defensive liability to the point we have to hide him from Jokic by putting Rui on him, and then forced to run double teams more than half the time. So our best defensive player becomes a non factor due to not having the personnel to deal with Jokic. LBJ, while he plays good defense in the play-offs, still takes the easiest of the forwards so that he can have more energy on offense, but with the easy assignment, still allows blown coverages for back-door dunks by Aaron Gordon. We shouldn't have had Rui trying to navigate screens chasing MPJ...it should have been LBJ.
So was coaching bad? Sure, but because our team wasn't built to deal with Denver, the coaching staff was limited in the schemes they could run, which amplified our coaching problem.
You know, I'm sick of the role players being thrown under the bus, because when Kobe was our star player, role players never got thrown under the bus, and it was always Kobe taking the criticism. Some times Gasol took the blame, but even he held himself accountable. LBJ doesn't hold himself accountable. It's always his supporting cast that is at fault. I love LBJ's game; he's an elite player still at his age, but I hate his leadership. You know, Murray shot terribly against us percentage wise, but in crunch time he hit his shots. LBJ shot well the whole game every game, but in crunch time he missed some wide open 3s. He's the superstar, so he needs to be one in those moments if we want to contend for a chip. No championship team wins without their stars being clutch, and having role players be clutch for them. The excuses have to stop.
With the 17th pick look for Daron Holmes and Kel'l Ward, they are the next level iteration of Naz Reid.
JJ Redick/ Sam Cassell are the coaches of the Lakers, they are more knowledgeable of the game than any of the current candidates that have been considered. They are your coach that will take the team far into the future as well as a minimal contract initially. They will manage the locker room along with input from veterans LeBron and AD; they are players coachs and understands the needs of there coaching staff. We need two real bigs, Valanciunas/Drumond/Dwight ( ie 2020 chip) along side AD, we need a six man, Dramond/Bobby Portes etc. We need a two way guard to manage Jamall Murry and Anthony Edwards.... Demar/Donavan/Caruso/Keli Ubrea/Marcus Smart/JaMonte Murray/Brogden/Gary Trent etc.
We have our assets, picks, mid level exceptions, and minimum contracts.
Perfect fit, I think they should get him, he stretches the floor and can sort of be a 3and d guy and improve the lakers shooting ability
I read a report that said the Jazz are entertaining talks on Markkanen, bt idk how serious, I said it earlier in the year I feel like the Jazz is the team we need to do business wit, LM’s salary matches up wit Dlo 🤔 which got me thinking, package DLo (to avoid losing him for nothing) send em to Utah and try to work a deal around Markkanen & Jordan Clarkson
Would be ideal but if not get dejonte murray
Ya I think he’s a perfect fit. I’ve been saying they needed to go and get him. If you can work a 3 team trade if DLo opts in that would be great. It is tough for bron but dude needs to just show up on defense.
So if this the rationale about Lauri which I like then why not the same rationale on Zach Edey on defense? I swear if shaq was in the draft y’all would say he can’t switch on D and shoot the 3 and not to draft him. This is crazy.
Markkanen is the perfect player for the Lakers as their center position. Not only he can shoot from anywhere. He can also pass really well and rebound
Utah have already done biz with the Lakers which shows they’ll do it again..
Lakers also have 3FRP + Reeves which is on one of the best contracts in the league for his production . They have the pieces to get this done if they want to. Hopefully it’ll only take 1-2 FRP
If they can get both Dejounte Murray and Lauri Markkanen. The defense wont be a problem anymore
PG = Murray
SG = Vando
SF = LBJ
PF = Lauri
C = AD
Need another defense big who can catch lobs
PG- Lebron James
SF-Lauri Markenan
PF-Anthony Davis

@@howru2055 I love it
Od take Markenan over that anyday
JJ will use LAuri to perfection... same with LeBron, AD can't hit the 3 (he's the equivalent of Aaron Gordon statistically - need a STRETCH BIG)
This is golden because the Lakers can start DLO Lebron Lauri AD Hayes or DLO Prince Lebron Lauri Wood or AD. Man this is a big deal for the Lakers i wouldnt take T young unless we had howard and Javale on this team because he is a liability defensively and u need rebounding for people that shoot like him.
Or they can go with reaves lebron Vanderbilt lauri and Ad which make us bigger and more switchable
let's get it done ❤❤❤❤
Hachimura Schifino...NEVER for Markanen. Ainge want to 5 pick
lets go!
this line up make sense. This is all about tea. chemistry and LeGoat James win a championship if it about team chemostry.
Imagine austin vando bron lauri and a.d as a lineup 😲 woukd be the biggest most athletic and dominant lineuo in the league. Would kill teams in the paint. Still have shooters. Nobody woukd be able yo get a rebound on us. And even max or vando at the 2 would be great perimiter defense and can cover some of brons regulwr season defense. Playoffs we would be dominant and dude has a great contract so we could still keep max wnd austin still trade dlo for an even higher level 2 or big man i love this trade AND the jazz have traded eith us before and lakers have some of the most valuable frp in the nba!!!
Lonzo, Caruso, Drummond, Mikal Bridges, maybe Claxton is who they need to go after
If we keep hays we would have the current wolves structure I think bron and ad could handle Dallas next
Year if we get cp and a new starting pg too
Lauri is a solid defender too he can guard 3-5
Pls go get Lauri!
What about 3point shooting
Give up D Lo in a sign in trade
or a trade package including..
Wood, Reddish, Christie, Jalen H-S, Vincent, Hayes
And we have a 1st and 2nd round pick!
LeBron, A.D., Reeves, Vando, Rui 🛑 (KEEP)!
And add Lauri Markkanen
Lauri and Zack or Lauri and derozan or Lauri and Murray to LA would be a dream come true
not a fan of getting Lauri, might as well pursue for Allen. Lauri can go somewhere else like the warriors where they needed a big man that can shoot. 💜💛
That would be a great pick up but we need a guard who can go get it take the ball and destroy people as good as Mitchel is he's not that guy. Hell it's not to many killers out there the Knicks got a good one in Brunson. Ant can be that guy. I just don't think we have the resources it takes to get one. Picks, players... I just don't know.
Lakers don't really need that, if they had a Caruso it would change this team drastically, Bron and ad will carry most of the offensive load but they need solid role players who won't disappear in the playoffs
Finally, this makes sense
I traded AD Lebron & everyone else for hella picks & budding stars from OKC & The Warriors 👀
I would love this but I feel Ainge probably asks for another pick.
getting Caruso and Allen in two separate trades would be tough 💪🔥
This is the most only trade that matters
So far in the Finals. They’re only a 2 star model. The 3 star model doesn’t work, and rarely will.
Trouble with Lakers trying to trade for Markkanen is going to be the same problem as trying to trade for Young or Mitchell. They're simply going to be outbid by other teams with better players and more assets. Lakers fans adding JHS to every trade like he's actually worth something. Stop it.
Hell yea I’ll trade him for rui , Christian Wood and Jalen hood schifino make that happen
no chance in my opinion, almost every playoff team wants him, and lakers couldnt give that much. there’s chance on trading for Trae/zach, as their salary are too expensive and they are both defensive liability and injury prone last yr. Nah i dont want both of them and even mitchell. Murray is acceptable in a reasonable price
i’ve been saying the should trade for him since last offseason!! imagine Rui on steroids
Look and see rui average totals on defense and rebounds . I really liked him . He is just not that good big wrong from .
Ppl say they don’t like Trae bec he doesn’t play defense. So under that same logic those same ppl shouldn’t want Lauri either right?
Will only do this if Bron leaves. Cant have both of them, defense will be average at best despite having AD.
PG austin reaves SG bruce brown SF lauri PF lebron Center AD
If LBJ would accept during regular season being 6th man to save him for the playoffs.
Then J Vanderbilt start at SF helps with AR avg defense as a starter
Need a 2 way PG still as a starter.
Is just my thoughts doubt that it would happen
Vando is always the primary option as the starter, but he is injured almost the entire season, which leads to AR playing the POA role. Lebron is not always the problem bro, is it Lebron’s fault ham played cam reddish and Prince for 30 minutes? Is it Lebron’s fault Max did not play most of the time? Is it Lebron’s fault ham keep giving players inconsistent minutes?
No it was ham fault he should have use the same the same line up that had them successful last year
@8red227 Your not reading my post just being a Lestan living in last season
Nor did I say James was the issue, just at 40 he would be fresher in the playoffs if he was 6th man getting 24 to 28 minutes a night in the regular season.
Which makes sense less wear and tear as well as not being fatigued and risky injury as much.
Until Lakers get a big as backup/ part time starter as needed
A legit 2 way SF or healthy Vando
A replacement for Dlo as starter as he's most likely signing elsewhere
Last that is optional is a SG that moves AR to bench
If they can do at least 2 of these things in the off-season it would offer more balance in starters
While also elevate the bench scoring
2 biggest flaws of the players on the roster is weak rebounding and bench scoring consistently
Ham was a complete hot mess last season. In 23 WC runner ups they had found a competitive starting 5
He waits until around 45% or more of the season to use that lineup.
He never established a consistent rotation and roles healthy or with injuries playing a part in availability
IMO if they had a replacement in mind early in the season he should have been canned. Starting T Prince over when healthy players was a terrible choice
Contributing to more losses than they should have had. I believe the Lakers roster injuries and all were a high 40 win team at worse.
Better record allows 2 less games before playoffs possibly, as they ended up playing only 1.
Denver late push for the number 1 seed then pretty much ended Lakers hopes.
As anyone besides Dallas and Denver they most likely had a good shot at beating.
Resolve rebounding, more athletic back court at least at 1 position for less backcourt mis matches at both spots defensively, adding more bench scoring or some starter swaps to be balanced.
Right coach with a few key additions this team is capable of a 50 win season
@akwesirobinson1710 read my reply
Ham was terrible yes, key injuries not withstanding.
Team still was flawed in 2 areas as well
1 lack of rebounding
2 lack of consitant bench scoring (injuries played a role as well.
Next coach has no control over rebounding as that's due to hustle and desire. Also athletic ability is questionable from many factors.
If the new coach fails to give Christie less than 20 minutes of playing time if he's retained will also not be very successful as the Lakers need some youth in starters as well as bench.
Getting old and slow is a disadvantage.
Look at the last 4 teams in conference finals.
2 stars
Quality depth in the other 3 starters of being able to give more than a limited 1 way role
Then 3 to 4 contributors off the bench in the playoffs.
Lakers can get to this model with the right decisions from coach and moves this off-season
D Wright, A Drummond, C Paul, T Jones are some vets to look at asset minimum guys and Jones as a FA signing
Quality depth, rebounding, bench scoring, some youth, replacement for DLO
Makes Lakers contender for top 4 seed if healthy
Omer yurtzseven is underrated.
Send them Rui and Reaves and watch them turn into the new Stockton and Malone👀💀👀
Who wrote this??? Ainge only trades players to his enemy only if the player will hurt his enemy's chances.
Markkanen is a perfect fit with A.D. and LBJ, problem for the league.
Please Lakers 🙏🏾
Not a good fit with LeBron but fits well for team going forward post LeBron era imo
Who cares about lebron. He's trash.
@@billyyank5807Go Troll Your Mom Kid... Don't Y'all Get Enough Of Using LEBRON For Attention 🤷🏿♂️
Please let us make a trade for him . He is what the Lakers need to go far in the playoffs
Is cannon.
Don't matter what they do bron going to mess them up
Anthony Anthony Davis does need some help I think that'll be a good help for the Lakers what's two twin towers that sounds good Anthony Davis can't do it all by yourself all year long think about it
Were would Lebron James,
Play? He doesn't, or can't
Play small forward, anymore.
Just unfortunate that neither this or bridges will happen
The two best (and best fitting) trade targets by far imo.
I swear if the lakers use a first pick on bronny im done with this team
It’s perfect that’s why it’ll never happen
Bron should take a pay cut since he's already a liability in defense at SF given he's age
It wouldn’t change anything for the money they have this year
Why trade ADisney when he brought us the very first bubble league ring? Hope he will win his first ring and laugh at you lakers.
Not 2
He can't play and win a ring if he don't know whwt the skills of new player. tram chemistry is how LeGoat James will win a ring.
Lauri, is NOT WHAT THE LAKERS NEED!
Folks this is realistic . Are number one pick this year plus rui and matt Christy to Cleveland four Jarrod Allen . Austin Reeves d Lo to Atlanta . We get Murray .

Reaves, Hood and 1 first round pick
They don't have anything to give the Jazz. Let's be honest, nobody wants Russell.
Lakers w/ twin towers w/ out james is nothing
Get Ja Morant, anyone?
No?
Lebron cant defend on the perimeter? This guy should be demonetized and locked in the basement
trade lebron..
LMAO …..Lakers have 0 1st round pics till 2029 …… they have average players with bloated salaries ….. Reeves wouldn’t even start on top 6 teams in the west ….. keep dreaming Laker fans …. James has ruined your future for a very very long time
They have they pick this year….
Trade lebron
Trade the most consistent player on the Lakers? Some of you Lakers fans truly are delusional 😂😂😂
Wrong answer, try again
I tried this lineup
In 2k, it did not work well
Even m u r r y from the Hawks will be a good trade but Anthony Davis do need help under the boards all year long
